What older bowling balls are you still throwing? Finally found the perfect compliment to my Purple Pearl Urethane in the Teal Rhino Pro (2000 polished).

Have a 15lb Teal Rhino from the 1990s sitting at my parent's house I just need to get re-drilled. The older pieces I have been throwing lately are my Purple and Black Sumos.

One of my favorite go to balls in our house is my lane#1 buzzsaw /c carbide pearl year 2000. If I want to score this ball fits the bill. I don't care what anyone thinks this ball hits extremely harder than anything else in the bag. Granted the house I bowl in is very old wood lanes.

I frequently throw an AMF Cobra. This ball carries better than any "new" ball that I have.

Start the night with a OG Purple Rhino Pro. It works great for the extreme dry I face in my league. Never thought I would have to swing it 15-7, but you do what needs to be done.
Also use either a Brunswick Phantom or Slate U-Dot for my urethane fix. Phantom hooks almost as much as the Rhino Pro and the Slate is pretty straight.

Love my Gunsmoke Cobra (very pretty ball and yes it hits a ton) but sadly its a very hard hitting spare ball with my style on the conditions/lanes I see.

I’ve been looking for a 15lb gunsmoke for a LOOOOONG time. :(
Sadly, most of those were 16lb’ers, and that’s just too heavy for me anymore

Oldest ball I have in my bag is my Clutch Pearl. Ball is nothing short of amazing. I'm going to report back how good the HB is compared to it. AND it's a ball that I have a NIB of, because it's just too good.

For whatever reason mine according to ebay is 15.6 lb. Can tell its definitely not a 15 but does feel lighter than my 16+ lbers.

Still throwing my Red Alert SE, on fresh conditions mostly. However, it has almost become my, "Get me out of Trouble" ball, since occasionally I actually see carry down!
Yesterday I threw an old Infinite Theory with much success.

All my stuff would most likely be considered vintage. In my bag currently is a Double Helix, Pink Hammer, Cuda/C 2000 and a Storm Spitfire Pearl. Still amazes people when I pull out some of the stuff I do but if it still hits hard after all these years, why replace it?

Ebonite Puma Remake & Ti - Messenger Solid.

My Faball Blue Hammer hasn't left my bag. A BW Urethane is definitely going to replace it, but hasn't yet.
Additionally, every so often I'll pull out my Ebonite Turbo/X, Nu-Line XCalibur, or my Fab Blue Pearl Hammer and have some fun. I tend not to, because all of those are in 16lb, and I dropped to 15 a long time ago (My Fab Blue Hammer was a 15lb 14oz, but after drilling went down, which is the only reason why it's still in the bag).
Most others prior to 2000 have cracked and become ladybugs in our yard.
